Upcoming Workshops & Events
After a well-deserved break, our robots are back in service! We are offering two coding and robotics internships this summer.
YACACODER - Coding & Sports Summer Day Camp
Are you curious about creating your own animations and video games? Would you like to discover original sports? If so, this day camp is for you!
During the first half of the day, we will explore coding and robotics with tools such as Scratch, Lego Mindstorms and textual programming (for those who already have coding experience). In the afteroon, get ready to dive, to climb... You'll also show us your bowling and your laser game skills!
This day camp will be organized with Yacasports, a great organization located in Schaerbeek.

MAGIC KIDS - Dance and Robotics Day Camp
Do you like to dance to the music you like? Do you want to understand the magic of new technologies and movements? Join us and we'll breathe life to dancing robots.
We use motion sensors that will connect us to our robots. We will explore our bodys' range of motions, respecting each other's limits. We will interact with the moving robots that the children will have programmed beforehand.
Thanks to fun rules, we will explore the fundamentals of dance such as space, body, rhythm, impulses with our own style. Welcome to the tinkering artists !! This day camp is organized in partnership with the Commune of Schaerbeek and with another very nice organization: made with heART.

About
Techies Lab is an initiative launched in 2015 in Belgium, by a happy bunch of passionate coaches, for kids and teenagers to discover, experiment, learn and play with technology (robots, coding, gaming, 3D printing...). Through weekly workshops and tech camps, we foster our Techies' creativity!
Our objective is to instill the maker's spirit, deconstruct to better reconstruct and understand the inner working of things. Our workshops are fun (we laugh!), hands-on (we make things) and long-lived (we take back our projects home to further develop them).
Stages and workshops in the future: Would you be interested?
We have lots of fun ideas: coding video games, building and programming badly-behaved robots, discovering the basics of cryptology... This said, what would you like best? - parent-child workshops or child only workshops? - age range? - Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays? We'd love to have your opinion.
